  • Security with AppArmor, SECCOMP, namespaces and more

  • What we are looking for in you

  • Significant programming experience in C, with Python, Golang, or other like languages is also highly regarded
  • Experience with operating system kernel internals and concepts, Linux would be highly regarded but not essential
